Hi ... You have to learn German well and do an apprenticeship. The job is definitely fascinating. The coal is mined about 100 miles southeast of Berlin and west of Cologne. During the GDR era there were 34 opencast mines with a capacity of around 300 million tons per year. The conveyor bridge was built in the GDR and is still working. Made in East-Germay ☺ Over 100,000 people in Germany had to leave their homes because their villages were being demolished ...
